Hi all, need some advice. I am a fresh graduate and I just got a job offer in Penang as an electrical consulting engineer with basic salary RM3.75k. I’m actually interested in the consulting line, but the benefits a bit disappointing. HR told me site allowance only start after 30 days (not in the offer letter), mileage claim can, but no OT allowance. Insurance only after probation, and offer letter got “no-show clause” (need to pay 14 days salary if I don’t report after signing). Since I’m from Sabah and have a gf in penang, relocating to Penang with only 3.8k (before allowance) feels quite tight, especially with rental and car loan. At the same time, I am still waiting result (told to wait for 2 weeks) for an Automation Engineer position from a renowned MNC, which I might think have better salary and allowance package. I need to confirm with the offer within 7 days. Guys, I really need some advice....
> have a gf in penang, relocating to Penang with only 3.8k (before allowance) feels quite tightI actually dont understand this bit. This should be a + point since your gf is in Penang, and it gives the implication that you would relocate regardless? Still, if you're interested in consulting line, why not tough it out for the first month.
Work out your expenses here, on how it'll be tight, because after kwsp (11%) and tax (annual 800), i assume it'd be somewhere around 3.3-3.4k nett?
